ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Classic has 2.8K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Vector Classic's written reviews are positive against 85% of Neon Beats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
